Code Dojo
I attended a code dojo with Fox presenting on Elephant Carpaccio. Essentially vertically slicing tasks which leads to a much more efficient outcome. I will definitely use this to slice my approach for Algo problems in the future.
Here is my slicing of the supermarket basket calculator (with tax):
Our slices:
- (Spike) Calculate %s in JS. Rounding errors. Financial Calculations
- Scoping the project, UI considerations. Who are the stakeholders
- Define outliers / requirements negative prices allowed? Non Valid state codes? Other deals BOGOF? Free samples 0 price
- Write some tests with example baskets of 1 item
-
Implement Gross Price of Order (MVP) which returns => units*price
- Implement tests for outliers
Implement Bulk Buy Discount Total using below table => calculateDiscount(calculateGrossPrice)*calculateGrossPrice
| Order value | Discount rate |
|---|---|
| $1,000 | 3% |
| $5,000 | 5% |
| $7,000 | 7% |
| $10,000 | 10% |
| $50,000 | 15% |
My q: Are the discounts included like tax , incrementally? No
- Include State Tax
- Include the discounts and calculate Final NET Calculated Price (Total - Discounts)
| State | Tax rate |
|---|---|
| UT | 6.85% |
| NV | 8.00% |
| TX | 6.25% |
| AL | 4.00% |
| CA | 8.25% |
Note: We were meant to implement tax first - next time!
